~*Our Heroes*~

Learn about the main heroes of the series! Be warned however that certain spoilers will apply.

~*Sora*~

Age 14 (KH1) - 15 (KH2)
As a teenager he has his share of concerns, but overall, he manages to keep an upbeat attitude. He seems too simple-minded at times, but he has a strong sense of justice. By the time the KH2 comes around Sora is a year older (not to mention a few inches taller) and finds himself experiencing new feelings, even romantic ones for Kairi.

~*Riku*~

Age 15 (KH1) - 16 (KH2)
He may seem cool and collected for his age, but he is far from the quiet type. Always curious about the unknown, he begins to question the small, closed world in which he lives and his ambitions grow into something he never imagined. Riku is probably the one to go through the most self-doubt in the entire series. Though out KH1 he is always trying to find him place in the world and is persuaded that to do so, he has to sever ties with his past. By KH2 however, Riku is now sure for which side to fight on, even if he still believes himself unworthy of his friend's light.





~*Kairi*~

Age 14 (KH1) - 15 (KH2)
She arrived at Destiny Islands when Sora and Riku were little kids. She is originally from Hollow Bastion. It is revealed in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix that Xehanort sent her off from Hollow Bastion, knowing that she was a Princess of Heart and hoping she would lead him to the Keyblade bearer. She did, though Sora didn't have the Keyblade at the time, which is probably the reason why Xehanort didn't attack Sora outright. Though she may appear delicate, she possesses a strong, unyielding will. Kairi is stong and calm even in the most desperate of situations. The one thing that seems to fuel her strength is the believe in her friends (Riku and Sora) and that they will make it through the derkness no matter what. Her gentle but firm nature suits her well.





~*Donald and Goofy *~

Goofy is captain of the royal knights, a soldier who despises weapons. Under the king's orders, he accompanies Donald on the quest to find the key. An easygoing, clumsy knight with a warm and gentle heart.

Donald Duck is the court wizard and loyal servant to the king. He embarks on a journey to carry out the missing king's orders: to find a mysterious "key" and its owner. A feisty, impatient magician who gets into spats with Sora quite often.

~*Party*~ Members

• Donald: Donald is one of two party members who travels with you almost all throughout the game, and who gains abilities as he levels up. Donald is the Court Wizard at Disney Castle, and as such his specialty is Magic. He fights with a magic wand, and is useful to have in battle because of this. Donald learns magic at the same pace as Sora does, for example, when Sora learns Gravity, so does Donald, at the same time. Donald also learns Cure, same as Sora, and this is extremely useful when you get busted up in battle and don't have the magic or items to heal yourself. Donald uses magic to attack at long range, and that gives him even more of an edge. However, Donald is extremely delicate...a few solid, powerful hits, and Donald will probably get knocked out, or at least hurt very badly. He can cure himself, but that means he has less MP to attack or heal you.
  
  
• Goofy: Goofy is the other party member who travels with you almost all throughout the game, and who gains abilities as he levels up. Goofy is the Captain of the Royal Knights at Disney Castle, but despite his title he can't stand weapons. As such, Goofy uses a shield to fight. Goofy uses a variety of close range attacks, some of which hit multiple times and can cause some pretty respectable damage. He can also deflect attacks with his shield, and since he fights at close range, unlike Donald, Goofy is much more durable. One of Goofy's most notable abilities is MP Gift, which can actually restore 3 bars of MP to Goofy's target, be it himself, Donald, or Sora. Final Mix players enjoy an added bonus, as Goofy sports a new ability that heals a small portion of all party members' HP. It doesn't heal as much as Donald's Cure, but even Donald can't heal all 3 members at once.
  
  
• Tarzan: Tarzan is a party member only available in the Deep Jungle. He fights with a normal spear, and being raised in the jungle, he doesn't use it with any particular fighting style, but instead usually goes into battle swinging it madly. However, Tarzan has enough brute strength in him to knock out some of the stronger Heartless with just one swipe of his spear during a special attack. He also sports abilities that mimic the spells Cure and Aero. A very useful ally who fights at close range, and it would be very wise to include him in your party during your journey in the Deep Jungle.
  
  
• Aladdin: Aladdin is a party member only available in Agrabah, who fights at close range and uses a cutlass style sword to fight. Aladdin is quite deft of blade, but his special attacks emphasize strength over style. It definitely gets the job done, however. He is fast on his feet too, able to dodge quite a few enemy attacks and has been known to even attack while opponents are still trying to recover from their own attacks.
  
  
• Ariel: What a surprise! Ariel is an especially powerful ally who only comes in Atlantica, and uses her entire body to fight, as well as a couple magical abilities.. She usually fights at close range, but she can also use her Thunder Potion ability to zap enemies from afar. She also has Cure Potion and Aero Potion abilities that are virtually identical to Sora and Donald's Cure and Aero. Ariel's signature attack is to charge in at high speed, drilling through the water. This attack, while it costs MP, often sends even Aqua Tanks to untimely demises. A friend of mine once got knocked face first into a wall because Ariel used this attack to charge off after an Aqua Tank, and he was in the way. Not to be underestimated, Ariel is one of the more useful allies due to her high strength and aggressiveness.
  
  
• Jack Skellington: Jack is amazing! He is available in Halloween Town, and he uses punches and kicks, as well as magic, to fight. As such, he is perfectly balanced between close and long range combat! Jack uses abilities exactly similar to Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and Gravity. He also has special close range attacks as well, such as a slide kick that causes some serious damage and trips up any Heartless that it hits. Because of his slenderness and grace, Jack is very proficient at using dance-like tactics to dodge enemy attacks. Keep this one in your party as much as possible!
  
  
• Peter Pan: Peter Pan is the only party member who can fly naturally. Donald and Goofy can only do it once they learn how to at the very end of Neverland's story, which is the world that Peter is available in. He specializes in close range combat and fights with a small dagger. Pan puts a new spin on close range combat, though: he freezes his opponents with his own version of Stop, and then rushes in and rapidly attacks his frozen opponents. He also uses an Aero-like ability as well. Pan is very good at weaving and dodging, since he can fly, but his attacks are not very powerful at all. This means that he can only keep dodging for so long until a couple of lucky shots hits him. Still a useful ally, but it would be wise to back him up a little with some powerful attacks of your own, so that he can go on freezing and attacking your opponents. Also, he can take some of the pressure off of you due to his dodging capabilities. So if you are getting ganged up on, you might wanna try using Pan's aerial antics as a nice little distraction.
  
  
• The Beast: The Beast is a close range fighter only available in Hollow Bastion. He uses his razor sharp claws to fight. This big bruiser is the exact opposite of Peter Pan: he can't dodge enemy attacks to save his life, and he has zero magical abilities. However, even normal attacks from the big guy can absolutely shred opponents. A common special attack of his is a dashing claw drill not unlike Ariel's drilling attack. This attack is so powerful that it can drill straight through a Defender's shield and cause damage. Any Heartless that isn't a Defender has almost zero chance of surviving this attack, unless your party is WAY underlevel. The Beast is the undisputed strongest party member in the game. He may be bad at dodging, but this often doesn't matter: after all, enemies can't do much damage to the Beast when they're dead.

There are some differences in the way friend cards function between Re:chain of Memories and the normal Re:chain of memories, as well as one new friend only found in Re:com. For example, Goofy functions a little differently, so I will have two Goofies: Goofy and Re:com Goofy.

• Donald: Donald is present in every world except the first run through of Destiny Islands. Once called upon,Donald appears and casts two of four spells; Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and Cure. Two Donald cards makes him cast the "ra" spells, and three makes him cast the "ga" spells. He's powerful, but don't use him against elemental foes. For example, if you are fighting Axel and you call on Donald, he may actually be stupid enough to cast Fire and heal him. Use with caution.
  
  
• Goofy: Appears in every world, except the first runthrough of Destiny Islands. Goofy charges in and slams foes with his shield. Two Goofys stun the opponents he runs down, and three cause him to spin in a circle around Sora and bash any enemies surrounding him.
  Re:com Goofy: Goofy spins around Sora and smashes any enemies that get too close. The more Goofys stocked, the longer he stays around.
  
  
• Aladdin: Aladdin appears only in Agrabah. Once called upon, he madly swings his cutlass next to Sora, slicing up any enemy that approaches. More Aladdins means more time he stays for.
  
• Re:com Aladdin: Same as our Aladdin, but with each hit Aladdin lands the enemy drops Moogle Points. More Aladdins means more time, and more Moogle points per hit.
  
  
• Jack Skellington: Jack is only available in Halloween Town. Once called upon, Jack appears, casts one standard spell (Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, or Gravity, than vanishes. Two Jacks nets you two "ra" level spells, and three Jacks earns you three "ga" spells. When Jack casts a second or third spell, he vaults across the stage to get a better vantage point for each spell.
  
  
• Ariel: Only appears in Atlantica. Once called upon, Ariel appears and rams foes in a quick pass across the screen. More Ariels means more passes across the screen, and hence more chances to damage foes.
  
• Re:com Ariel: Ariel homes in on a target and whips it with her tail. Stocking more Ariels means more chances to bash people with her tail, but you must hit Triangle, Reaction Command style, to do it. The final blow is her signature spinning, drilling attack from KHI.
  
  
• Peter Pan: Only appears in Neverland. Once called upon, Peter Pan swoops down and slices enemies in his path with his dagger, almost exactly like Ariel. And just like with Ariel, more Peters means more passes at enemies.
  
• Re:com Peter Pan: Pan appears and starts rapidly jabbing enemies with his dagger, but you must button mash Triangle to optimize the damage count. More Pans means more time to jab at enemies. It should be noted that Peter progresses very slowly across the screen, making it fairly difficult to chase down a second target once the first target is defeated. Make sure your target has most of it's HP before calling on Peter Pan with three cards.
  
  
• The Beast: Only available in Hollow Bastion. Once called upon, the Beast hurtles across the stage, trampling any enemies in his path, similar to Ariel and Peter Pan. Two Beasts causes anything he hits to be stunned, and three Beasts causes him to literally throw himself on top of his foes, flattening them as if they had been hit with Gravity.
  
• Re:com Beast: The Beast runs down a target until he vanishes, often shoving it far away from it's original position on the field...if it lives that long. More Beasts prolongs the length of his charge.
  
  
• The King: The only friend card available in Riku's story. The ultimate friend card, King Mickey causes minor damage to and stuns every enemy on the field, sends them flying, and heals Riku of damage. More Mickey cards means more HP healed. The only worlds Mickey doesn't appear in is Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town.
  
• Re:com King: No differences, save for two. If you combine Mickey and two Soul Eater cards, Mickey pulls out his keyblade, leaps up back to back with Riku, and they both start shooting off Pearl blasts in every direction imaginable. Using this in Dark mode causes every Pearl Riku shoots (not the King) to possibly confuse the target it strikes. The other difference is that Mickey appears in Twilight Town, unlike in the original Com.
  
  
• Re:com Only Friend Card-Pluto: Pluto only appears when you have almost completely burned up all the cards in your deck. Not just used up, but also un-re-loadable. As such, you probably don't want to be in a position to see the Pluto friend card. Pluto can dig up cards that are unreloadable, and scatter them across the field, allowing you to collect them and put them back in your deck. Needless to say, if you do get in a situation like this, you MUST collect the Pluto friend card. More Plutos stocked means more cards that are dug up for you to collect and return to your deck. Pluto appears in every world, even in the first run through Destiny Islands.

• Donald: The magical duck of doom is back, and once again accompanies Sora on every world. Donald learns skills depending on both level and get bonuses from bosses, as opposed to learning magic when Sora does in KHI. He learns Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and Cure. Donald eventually learns to do two Limits with Sora, Comet and Flare. The former causes Sora to be invincible while attacking normally, as Donald flies around shooting fireworks at the target you have locked onto. The finale, Comet Rain, causes the area around Donald to explode in a frenzy of fireworks, propelling any enemies caught in the explosion into the air. Duck Flare causes Donald to conjure rockets and launch them at opponents, while Sora attacks normally below, once again enjoying the fruits of invincibility. The finale, Megaduck Flare, causes a storm of rockets to pummel the target you have locked onto. Donald also causes fireworks to draw in and explode on enemies during the mighty Trinity Limit.
  
  
• Goofy: Goofy returns for more shield bashing action, and once again travels everywhere with Sora. While Goofy can't restore MP anymore he's received a few upgrades that more than makes up for the loss. Goofy now sports a long range attack, which involves him throwing his shield at a foe that hits multiple times. Goofy also can block attacks far more easily than in KHI, and has even been known to reflect energy blasts with his rear end. No, I am not kidding. You are not being punked. I've seen this happen on many, many occasions, sometimes with blasts far bigger than Goofy himself. Goofy also learns two limits. Knocksmash causes Sora to smack Goofy's shield at opponents, then throwing both of their weapons in a Strike Raid-ish manor. The finale, Cosmo Boost, launches Goofy from Sora's shoulder like a missile, homing in on multiple enemies at once and causing heavy damage. Whirli Goof causes Sora and Goofy to hold on to each other and roll around to damage opponents on contact. It has homing capabilities, until the finale, Whirli Goofga, which allows you to steer towards any enemy you want to strike and hit them many, many times, also causing serious damage. Goofy is responsible for shooting off countless drive orbs and allowing you to steer the direction of the blast of orbs during the mighty Trinity Limit.
  
  
• Mulan: Mulan has two forms, but in both she fights with a Chinese sword, and appears only in the Land of the Dragons. Mulan is next to useless when she is pretending to be Ping. She fights at close range, but possesses no special attacks, and often trips over herself when trying to take a swing at an opponent. You are unable to remove her from your party while she is posing as Ping. However, once she ditches the guise, enemies had better get out of dodge quick! Mulan proves to be an amazing figher! She still fights at close range, but using a special attack allows her to zoom up on her opponents faster than the eye can see, shrowded in flames due to Mushu. Mushu pops up during Mulan's special attacks, and provides backup with his flames. Mulan and Sora's Limit, the Red Rocket, provides both close range and long range fire breathing action from Mushu, as well as Mulan and Sora streaking across the battle to slash opponents, both attacks homing in on opponents. The finale, Red Meteor, causes Mushu to breath huge fireballs that violently slam into the ground all around Sora and Mulan. A pyromaniac's joy.
  
  
• The Beast: Beast is back, and is as powerful as ever. Using his claws and outrageously powerful lungs to fight, Beast can do some serious damage. He appears in Beast's Castle, which I know was hard to guess. His special attacks include a multi-hit charge that does serious damage, often ending in the demise of his target, and a roar that blows away any enemies stupid enough to get too close to the Beast. His Limit, Twin Howl, sports homing capabilities that allow you to not worry about steering. Sora cries out, producing powerful shockwaves, while the Beast lunges through the air at another target, slamming his claws into the ground, causing a powerful shockwave of his own. It should be noted that unlike Sora's shockwave, enemies must be touching the ground for the Beast's shockwave to do damage, unless the Beast falls on top of a midair enemie just before hitting the ground to cause the shockwave. The finale, Last Howl, sucks in opponents close, and Sora and Beast roar in anger, causing incredible amounts of damage. If a Heartless somehow survives, it is blown sky high, making it wide open to even more attacks.
  
  
• Auron: Auron may have the use of only one arm, but that's all he needs. This powerful ally fights with a huge sword at close range, and appears in Olympus Colliseum. In addition to special moves that cause Auron to fly through the air at foes to attack in midair, he sports a curing ability very similar to Donald's Cure. His Limit, Bushido, renders you immobile except for when you are attacking, but believe me, that's all that's necessary. Alternating between Triangle and X allows Sora to rip towards and through enemies in almost a leapfrog-like fashion. Sometimes Auron uses a downward plunge that causes flames to erupt from the ground. The finale, Spiral, makes Sora and Auron to link their weapons and spin them so fast that a huge tornado is generated, causing damage to all enemies and blowing them very, VERY far away. A personal favorite of mine. Unfortunately, to make up for Auron's power, he is not often available during Olympus Colliseum.
  
  
• Jack Sparrow: In need of a pirate? Jack Sparrow fights with a rapier like pirate sword normally, but has other weapons that are utilized in his special moves, which allows him to fight at both close range and long range. He only appears in Port Royal. Jack possesses some pretty nimble sword strokes as normal attacks. For his special attacks, Jack can chuck bombsat his opponents that blow them into the air, and leave them vulnerable. Sparrow also sports throwing knives that he pitches rapidly at foes, not leaving them time to recover during each throw. Jack's Limit is pretty amazing, as well. It's called Bluff, which admitedlly does not sound very intimidating, but is definitely powerful. Sora opens a treasure chest, and a stream of light bursts out of it, drawing in more enemies for much longer than any Magnet spell could. Jack flies through the air, whirling and slicing the helpless enemies, while Sora keeps his feet planted on the ground, striking from below. They are basically immobile, but since this Limit sucks all the enemies to you, you don't need to move around anyway. The finale, Final Trap, causes Jack to drop a larger than normal bomb into the chest while Sora shuts the lid. Sora and Jack get the heck out of dodge just before the chest explodes, obliterating the Heartless while they are still trying to recover from being sucked into the air for so long. Another of my personal favorites.
  
  
• Aladdin: Aladdin has undergone quite a few changes from the other games. He still fights at close range with a scimitar, but his power has dropped a lot. However, that guy can seriously move now! Aladdin's special attacks strike so fast that he is often just a blur flying through the air, or circling his foes while slicing them. In addition, each slice that an enemy takes from one of Aladdin's special moves causes that enemy to drop MP balls. His limit is rather unique as well, called Speedster. It's indeed a weak limit, and once activated, the screen blacks out as Aladdin attacks all on screen enemies. Then, Aladdin and Sora home in on enemies when their corresponding button is pressed to deliver slices to the targeted foe. However, each hit causes the enemy to drop HP balls instead of MP balls! The finale, Trickster, blacks the screen out again as this time both Sora and Aladdin cut up the opponents, causing them to drop a veritable horde of Drive orbs. Sora and Aladdin then high five, creating the mother of all Draws that causes you to suck in and collect every last pickup dropped during the limit. So, while this Limit may be weak, it also allows you to heal and refill your drive gauge at the same time, which is more than enough to make up for what it lacks in power.
  
  
• Jack Skellington: The Bone Man has also undergone a couple changes since the other games. He fights barehanded and with magic at long range, but his versions of Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder are much different than your own. Jack's Fire ignites his body and he runs straight into enemies for multiple close range hits. His Blizzard moves through the air quite slowly, but sports some major homing capabilities that not many other party members can match, often chasing enemies for almost 30 seconds at a time. If it connects, it just stays on the enemy to hit it multiple times. Even if you hit it away from the Blizzard after it hits, the ball of ice will just keep chasing it's target. Jack's Thunder is actually about a medium range attack, but it causes multiple thunder strikes to hit the opponent instead of just one. Therefore, both with his magic attacks, and normal physical attacks, Jack's strength doesn't lie in single blows, but in his particularly vicious combos. Jack's Limit, Dance Call, is as graceful as it is deadly. It begins by twirling Sora along the ground, allowing you to steer him into enemies for multiple hits. Then, Sora and Jack begin to dance, and every time you press X or Triangle, jack-o-lanterns pop out in front of them, causing serious damage to all opponents caught in the blast. The finale is literally called Finale, and it causes ghosts to circle around Sora and Jack as they dance, pulverizing all surrounding enemies. Finally, Sora and Jack finish their dance, and laser like beams burst from the ground surrounding them, damaging all enemies who landed too close to Sora and Jack to be blown back into the air, leaving them vulnerable to regular attacks once the limit officially deactivates.
  
  
• Simba: He was just a summon in the other games, but now Simba returns as a full blown party member to wreak some havoc! Simba fights with his claws, fangs and deadly roar. For his size, the big cat is deceptively fast, and his attacks are powerful as well. His special attacks include multiple claw swipes that are both powerful and so fast they could give Aladdin a run for his money, a roar that causes major damage to any enemies around Simba, and a curing ability that he uses on himself and others. His Limit is called Wildcat, and upon activation both Sora and Simba roar and cause jagged pillars of rock to erupt all around them, piercing their foes. Then, the two begin racing on the ground and flying through the air, whirling and slashing with claws, fangs, and Keyblade, causing multiple hits with heavy damage for each. The finale, Proud Roar (yes, that name is from the other two games!) causes Sora and Simba to roar again, hitting the enemies multiple times, with the final hit knocking off a huge chunk of HP on all enemies caught in the blast.
  
  
• Tron: Tron here fights with magic and the data disc on his back. Tron specializes in medium and long range attacks. He likes to chuck the disc on his back at enemies. Also, Tron sports the most unique variation of Thunder in the game. It's a medium and close range range attack, and it causes lighting to erupt from data pools from the ground up instead of striking from the sky. Multiple strikes erupt from the ground at different points in front of Tron. He isn't the fastest character, but because he doesn't fight at close range often, enemies have a hard time making it to Tron to fight back, and hence he is rarely knocked out when fighting Heartless. Since it is hard for party members to keep a boss at bay, this does not apply to bosses, although Tron has got some pretty decent defense as well. He can take quite a few hits without being knocked out. His limit, Setup, causes crystals of data that I believe are called Bits to erupt from the ground and grind themselves into enemies. Once the first phase is over, you are able to move the data platform Tron and Sora are on, causing it to glide across the ground at a fairly rapid pace to pursue enemies. One attack option causes Bits to erupt in a straight line in front of you in a multi-hitting long range attack. The other option causes Bits to burst up in a small circle around Tron and Sora, for a multi hit close range attack. The finale, Reprogram, summons a horde of Bits to chase down your opponents and cause serious damage for a fairly long time after the limit is through, which means you can attack normally while the Bits back you up. One of the more damaging limits.
  
  
• Riku: Squealing fangirls, unite! Riku is finally a party member! He fights mostly at close range with a Keyblade all his own called Way to Dawn. He sports a high flying multi hit combo as a special move, as well as a very potent Curing ability which comes in handy against the final boss. In addition, you can actually control Riku a little bit. When you take damage, a reaction command pops up called Dark Shield. Once activated, it teleports Riku in front of you and causes him to generate a shield to at least partially block any attacks that might try to hit you while you are off balance. It isn't nearly as good as Reflega, but it is useful in a bind, as it doesn't cost you any magic. Also, when you perform a combo finisher on an enemy, a reaction command called Dark Firaga pops up. Once activated, Riku appears beside you and shoots multiple blue fireballs that cause fairly mild damage. However, once again, since Riku is doing it, it costs you nothing to launch this attack, so there is no loss in using it! Riku's Limit is the most powerful Limit in the game, putting even Trinity Limit to shame. It is called Session, and it has multiple phases to it. Once activated, Sora and Riku madly slash the enemy closest to them, unless you locked onto an enemy before hand. The first phase is designed for a single opponent. The first option causes the pair to rush in and rapidly stab the target, while the other option launches a horde of blue fireballs to pummel the target. The second phase begins when Riku says, "I'll take em!" This phase is designed for multiple opponents. The first option causes the pair's weapons to extend to a huge size, and then they swing the extended weapons at all enemies in front of them. The other option causes 13 swords to appear all around Sora and Riku, and then the blades spin around them, hacking up all enemies ignorant enough to be to close. The finale, called All's End, has Sora and Riku throw their Keyblades into the air, and their power draws in all enemies on and off the screen. The enemies are hit an incredible amount of times, and the final hit causes a devastating amount of damage. I have never seen any opponent short of a boss to survive this Limit, even if they start out at full health.

And that's all the party members! Use them in the right situations, and you'll be in pretty good shape throughout the games!

~*Organization XIII*~
(as written in Wikipedia)

Members in Order

Number in Organization: 01
Original Name: Xemnas is the Nobody of Xehanort.
Title: The Superior/Leader
Weapons: He controls Sorcerer Nobodies, and in battle he uses Aerial Blades and manipulates nothingness to phase through solid matter and manifest energy-based shields and projectiles.
Voice Actors: Xemnas is voiced by Norio Wakamoto in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II, and by Paul St. Peter in the English version.

He is the leader of the Organization, and the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts II. His original self was named Xehanort, but prior to becoming a Nobody he took his master's name, Ansem. In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Xemnas appears as an optional boss in Hollow Bastion, called "Unknown". In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, he is infrequently spoken of by the members of the Organization, who refer to him only as the "Superior".

In Kingdom Hearts II, Xemnas initially appears in Roxas's dreams, as he struggles to remember what he is. Xemnas also makes two appearances at Hollow Bastion; in the second, his identity is clarified and his face revealed. His plan is explained as increasing the power of Kingdom Hearts by having Sora destroy Heartless, releasing the hearts inside them. Xemnas appears again, in the World That Never Was, when DiZ attempts to contain Kingdom Hearts's power with a device of his creation. However, DiZ's machine overloads and explodes, killing its creator, leaving a huge hole in Kingdom Hearts, and causing many of the hearts to rain down and become Heartless. Xemnas uses what is left of Kingdom Hearts's power to summon the emotions of rage and hatred and take on a new form to fight Sora's party. Though Xemnas is thought to be defeated, he manages to separate Sora and Riku from the others, and attacks them. However, the two defeat him, and he then fades into darkness.

Number in Organization: 02
Original Name: Xigbar is the Nobody of Braig.
Title: The Freeshooter
Weapons: He controls Sniper Nobodies, and in battle he uses Gun Arrows and manipulates space to teleport himself, warp his bullets, and levitate upside down.
Voice Actors: Xigbar is voiced by James Patrick Stuart in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and Hōchū Ōtsuka in the Japanese version


Xigbar initially appears before Sora at Hollow Bastion near the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II, though he never takes off his hood, and compares him to Roxas. During the player's second visit to the Land of Dragons, he transforms a dragon into a Heartless, and leaves after Sora confronts him in the Emperor's Palace, summoning his Nobodies to cover his escape. In the World That Never Was, Xigbar confronts Sora again, confusing him by calling him Roxas. Xigbar fights Sora's party, and after they defeat him, he fades into the darkness, refusing to clarify to Sora the mystery of "Roxas".

Number in Organization: 03
Original Name: Xaldin is the Nobody of Dilan.
Title: The Whirlwind Lancer
Weapons: With his powers, he uses wind to manipulate his six lances and shield himself. Xaldin's lances can transform into a dragon-shaped contraption to attack opponents with whirlwinds. He controls lance-wielding Dragoon Nobodies.
Voice Actors: Xaldin is voiced by David Dayan Fisher in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and Yōsuke Akimoto in the Japanese version

Xaldin first appeared in Kingdom Hearts II at Hollow Bastion with other members. He later confronts Sora in Beast's Castle when he manipulates the Beast's rage by various means so that a powerful Nobody and Heartless could be created from the Beast. But Sora's interference with his plan forces Xaldin to steal the Beast's mystical rose to temper the Beast's rage. Sora and the Beast find him, and he reveals that the Organization needs Kingdom Hearts to become complete beings. He then kidnaps Belle, forcing the Beast to choose whether Belle or the rose is more important to him. The plan fails when Belle gets away with the rose and Xaldin falls against Sora and the Beast.

Number in Organization: 04
Original Name: Vexen is the Nobody of Even.
Title: The Chilly Academic
Weapons: Vexen can control ice and carries a large shield in battle that blocks any frontal attacks made against him.
Voice Actors: Vexen is voiced by Tatsuya Kando in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Nachi Nozawa in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.


Vexen was interested in studying Xehanort's memories. In Chain of Memories, Vexen sides with Zexion and Lexaeus, other members occupying the castle's basements, to prevent Marluxia's plan to overthrow the Organization. He first battles Riku in order to gather data to create a replica of him. However, Vexen cares nothing for his "experiment" and allows Naminé to manipulate the Riku Replica's memories against his wishes. When the Replica fails to defeat Sora, Marluxia threatens to reveal the shortcoming to Xemnas, forcing Vexen to kill Sora. Encountering Sora, Vexen says that he came to collect his "debt" and provokes Sora's anger by making him believe that he controlled Riku rather than created a replica.

After their battle, Vexen gives Sora the card to Twilight Town with the intention of revealing Roxas's existence. Marluxia considers him a traitor as a result and sends Axel to kill him. In Twilight Town, Vexen attempts to reveal to Sora why he feels as though he has been to Twilight Town despite being fairly certain that he had never been there. Sora and Vexen battle again after Vexen tells Sora to throw away his memories and listen to his heart. As Vexen is about to reveal Marluxia's plot, he is killed by Axel.

Weapons: Lexaeus employs a large tomahawk and earth, throwing his tomahawk, breaking rocks and shaking the arena itself.
Voice Actors: Lexaeus is voiced by Tatsuya Kando in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Fumihiko Tachiki in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.


Lexaeus is a well-built fighter in Organization XIII's ranks and one of the two members of the Organization in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories that only appear in Riku's story.

Lexaeus, along with Vexen and Zexion, are older members of the Organization who occupy the basement levels of Castle Oblivion in the second game. When they find Marluxia plans to overthrow the Organization by capturing and manipulating Sora, Lexaeus and Zexion decide to capture Riku and use him in the same fashion to counter Marluxia. When it becomes dangerously apparent that Sora might fall into Marluxia's grasp, Lexaeus confronts Riku directly, trying to convince him to open himself up to the power of the darkness in his heart. Riku refuses to give in and Lexaeus attacks him. Riku manages to defeat the warrior, but with his last bits of strength, Lexaeus releases all of the darkness within him in hopes of overwhelming and consuming Riku. However, King Mickey protects Riku from the part of Xehanort's Heartless in his heart. Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories alters Lexaeus's death; Xehanort's Heartless possesses Riku's body and kills Lexaeus.

Original Name: Zexion is the Nobody of Ienzo.
Title: The Cloaked Schemer
Weapons: Zexion uses his power of illusion, used to mimic others' weapons, disguise himself as others, and create duplicates of himself. His unique weapon is a lexicon
Voice Actors: Zexion is voiced by Akira Ishida in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories


Zexion is a manipulator appearing in Chain of Memories. Zexion's original self was Ansem the Wise's youngest lab assistant named Ienzo. He convinced Ansem the Wise that they should build an underground lab for research. His unique weapon is a lexicon. Before Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Zexion's weapon and powers were unknown because he had died without fighting. Because Nomura was unsure if it would be revealed later, he kept information about it secret. The development team also destroyed his gravestone in the World That Never Was that would have shown his weapon.

Zexion is one of two Organization members who appear only in Riku's story in Chain of Memories. Zexion tracks Riku's actions until Vexen's death; Zexion and Lexaeus then decide to use Riku to counter Marluxia's plan to use Sora. After Marluxia is killed, Zexion sees Riku as unnecessary and attempts to destroy Riku himself. He leads Riku into a manifestation of Destiny Islands, Riku's home. There, Zexion tells Riku about how he threw away his friends and his home and opened the door to darkness, thus destroying the islands. Following Riku's battle with a large Heartless, Zexion disguises himself as Sora and attacks Riku, telling him that he's become a pawn of the darkness. He engulfs Riku in light, but a vision of Kairi convinces Riku to accept darkness and light. With newfound confidence, Riku follows Zexion's scent through the light and causes Zexion to flee. Axel brings the Riku Replica to Zexion and convinces the replica that he can become "real" by gaining power that the real Riku does not have. The replica agrees, and as per Axel's suggestion, kills Zexion.

Original Name: Saix has no known Original Name.
Title: The Luna Diviner
Weapons: He wields a claymore. He draws power from the moon and controls the Berserker Nobodies, who wield weapons like his own.
Voice Actors: Saïx is voiced by Kirk Thornton in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and Ginpei Sato in the Japanese version.


He has an X-shaped scar on his face. Saïx first appeared in Kingdom Hearts II in Hollow Bastion. He appears again in Twilight Town after Sora defeats his Berserker Nobodies and warns Sora of Axel's intention to turn him into a Heartless. After Sora defeats the Heartless army at Hollow Bastion, Saïx appears and explains Sora's purpose in the Organization's plans and refuses Sora's request to meet Kairi, whom Saïx kidnapped. After Saïx summons a horde of Heartless, Maleficent attempts to use her own Heartless to battle Saïx, but his Nobodies quickly dispatch them and overwhelm Maleficent. Later, at the World That Never Was, when Naminé helps Kairi escape, Saïx appears to deal with the two, but is stopped by Riku in the guise of Xehanort's Heartless; Saïx fled. Once Kingdom Hearts neared completion, Xemnas gives him permission to destroy Sora and his friends. Despite appearing calm, Saïx shows his true nature when he fights Sora in the World That Never Was by absorbing the light from the Kingdom Hearts moon, which puts him in a berserk state where he wildly attacks with his claymore. After Sora defeats him, he dies while pining for Kingdom Hearts to give him his heart.

Number in Organization: 08
Original Name: Axel has no known Original Name.
Title: The Flurry of Dancing Flames
Weapons: Axel who utilizes a pair of chakram, as well as fire with the Assassin Nobodies under his control. Axel can create walls of fire or throw his weapons.
Voice Actors: Axel is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II, while he is voiced by Quinton Flynn in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Axel pretends to join with Larxene and Marluxia in their plan to seize control of the Organization. To gain their trust, he assassinates Vexen when ordered by Marluxia. He later attempts to derail the plans by setting Naminé free so that she can reveal to Sora the truth about how she manipulated his memory. Eventually, Axel confronts Marluxia, prepared to destroy him. Marluxia uses Naminé as a shield to keep Axel at bay, though Axel resolves to go through her. When Sora makes a sudden appearance, Marluxia vanishes with Naminé, leaving Sora to fight Axel. Sora defeats Axel, after which he states the existence of their relation before vanishing. After Marluxia is defeated by Sora, Axel enlists the aid of the Riku Replica to get rid of Zexion in Castle Oblivion's basement levels.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Axel attempts to rescue Roxas from DiZ's virtual Twilight Town. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix it was shown that he received orders to bring back or kill Roxas. Despite Axel's efforts, Roxas merges with Sora. Later, acting separately from the Organization, Axel kidnaps Kairi to bait Sora to him. However, Saïx takes her away so the Organization can use her to fuel Sora's anger. During a visit to Twilight Town, Saïx warns Sora that Axel desires to turn him into a Heartless. Axel appears after the Heartless invasion of Hollow Bastion to Sora, and informs him that Organization XIII has been using him to get hearts. He then apologizes for getting Kairi involved. Axel later finds Sora in a pathway to the World That Never Was and chooses to fight Nobodies with him. The numbers get overwhelming and Axel performs a suicide attack to save Sora. Fading away, Axel apologizes for kidnapping Kairi and asks Sora to rescue her. When asked what he was trying to do, Axel admits he wanted to see Roxas, who made him feel like he had a heart, and Sora made him feel the same way. With the last of his strength, Axel opens an entrance to the World That Never Was.

He later appeared in the Underworld, the world in which he first removes his hood. He is confronted for stealing the Olympus Stone, an object that protects the bearer from the effects of the Underworld. He refers to Sora as Roxas, having been given orders to "use aggression to liberate Sora's true disposition" but nevertheless still proclaiming "they sent the wrong guy for this". He fights Sora. The two cross paths again at Hollow Bastion during the Heartless attack. Upon being reminded that he is a Nobody, and has no heart, Demyx commands the "traitor" to be silent, and uses his duplicates and water attacks; Demyx fades into darkness at the conclusion of the battle.

Luxord is described by Jiminy Cricket as "a master of rhetoric". Luxord appears in Kingdom Hearts II at Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, where he revives the curse of the Aztec gold, and the cursed pirates along with it. Luxord makes use of the opportunity to scout the powerful Grim Reaper Heartless and the gold's curse to ascertain as to whether or not they would be useful to the Organization in terms of Sora's part in their plan and making Port Royal's people assist in it as Heartless. For amusement, he has his Nobodies steal four of the Aztec medallions while having Grim Reaper curse Jack Sparrow. Sora defeats Grim Reaper in order to free Jack from his curse and Luxord collects the forthcoming heart before escaping without fighting Sora and his party himself. At the World That Never Was, Luxord traps Sora's companions in his cards, leaving Sora to fight alone in a battle. Luxord fades back into darkness, unable to comprehend how "Roxas" could kill him.

Number in Organization: 11
Original Name: Marluxia has no known Original Name.
Title: The Graceful Assassin
Weapons: He uses a scythe and his control over flowers to attack.
Voice Actors: Marluxia is voiced by Tatsuya Kando in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Shūichi Ikeda in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories.


In Chain of Memories, Marluxia and Larxene conspire to overthrow the Organization by using Naminé to manipulate Sora's memories. He gives Sora his first set of world cards to proceed through the castle. He assigns Axel to eliminate Vexen when his plan to use the Riku Replica fails. Larxene fails to kill Sora and is eliminated as well. Marluxia is later confronted by Axel, who accuses Marluxia and Larxene of being traitors for conspiring against the Organization. Axel attempts to kill Marluxia, however, Marluxia returns to the thirteenth floor with Naminé, tricking Sora into fighting Axel for him. Seeing Axel defeated, Marluxia anticipates Sora's arrival on the thirteenth floor. He orders Naminé to erase Sora's memories, but she refuses. When Marluxia implies that he will kill her for disobeying him, Sora demands that Naminé erase his memories for her safety, as his promise will remain and he can protect her. Marluxia says that Sora would become just like the Riku Replica, but the Riku Replica surprises Marluxia, who then engages Sora. The two fight, but Sora realizes he has been fighting a replica of Marluxia. He later finds the real Marluxia, in a new form, and kills him.

Number in Organization: 12
Original Name: Larxene has no known Original Name.
Title: The Savage Nymph
Weapons: Larxene wields kunai and the power of lightning to fight.
Voice Actors: Larxene is voiced by Rieko Katayama in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Yuko Miyamura in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories.


Larxene was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories where she conspired with Marluxia to overthrow Organization XIII by using Sora. She is agile and can call forth bolts of lightning in battle. In Chain of Memories, she entices Sora to believe the false memories Naminé implanted in his mind. Larxene later appears to Sora, after he fought the Riku Replica for the fourth time, planning to destroy them all. Again, Larxene mocks Sora for "chaining" himself to false memories of Naminé and the "promise" he made to her. She has a cruel, sadistic personality and enjoys seeing others suffer. She taunts Vexen after Marluxia charges him with treason and incompetence, and toys with Sora before fighting him the first time. After she discovers Axel's betrayal and sees that her and Marluxia's plans have fallen apart, her playful manner vanishes and she attacks Sora in a rage. She is later killed by Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

Number in Organization: 13
Original Name: Roxas is the Nobody of Sora.
Title: The Key of Destiny
Weapons: He uses the "Oathkeeper" and "Oblivion" Keyblades, which represent Sora's memories of Kairi and Riku, as well as the power of light. As a stronger Nobody, Roxas controls Samurai Nobodies.
Voice Actors: Roxas is voiced by Jesse McCartney in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and Koki Uchiyama in the Japanese version.

When pre-release Kingdom Hearts II screenshots and video showed this character without an Organization coat, he was featured prominently, emphasizing his importance to the future game's plot. Roxas's backstory and his joining of Organization XIII itself will be explored in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, for the Nintendo DS. Roxas will be a playable character in the game.

Unlike the other Organization members, Roxas lacks memories of his previous life, due to the short time Sora had spent as a Heartless. During Roxas's time in the Organization, he and Axel became friends, but Roxas leaves to find answers as to why he possesses the Keyblade. He is confronted by Riku, who defeats Roxas and takes him to DiZ. In Kingdom Hearts II, DiZ places Roxas in a virtual Twilight Town, leaving him without any memory of the Organization and with a fabricated identity to throw them off. While here Roxas begins seeing his other self's memories in dreams. Roxas lives an otherwise normal life in "Twilight Town" until Axel infiltrates it to save him. Despite Axel's attempts to stop him and Roxas gaining back his memories of the Organization, Roxas merges with Sora early in the game, which also causes some of Roxas's memories to influence Sora.

Roxas appears twice more later in the game. The first is a battle with Sora, shown only as a cut scene and never fully explained. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Sora's battle with Roxas is made playable, and a cut scene is added that shows Xemnas explaining that Axel's death triggered the reappearance of Roxas. Roxas appears once again with Naminé before Kairi enters the corridor of darkness back to Destiny Islands. He and Naminé imply that they will live on within Sora and Kairi as both a part of them and as individuals, as seen in the ending cinematic when they smile at each other through Sora and Kairi.

~*The Chasers*~



Not much is known about the Chasers other then they are part of a secret teaser at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 & Kingdom hearts 2 Final mix+. However, recent news has allowed us to speculate on who exactly the are.

What Happened in the Secret Trailer ::

The secret trailer begins with views of a barren wasteland, with text scrolling across the screen (quotes from Ansem Reports 8 and 9). Ansem Report 8 talks about Xehanort's machine that creates Heartless, while 9 has a line that may hold great significance to the trailer. The line reads "The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power. One legend says its wielder saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it."

The trailer then brings us to a deserty plain with dark clouds over head. A heavily armored soldier is standing by a great beast that has been slain, which quickly erupts into dust and then nothing. This first soldier has chrome armor with a helmet that has rabbit-like earpieces. He wears a cape and holds a giant keyblade over his shoulder which is of an unfamiliar design.

To his right, another armoured figure walks towards him, also dawning a cape. This character has ear-pieces that shoot backwards, rather than up. The tinted eyepiece is the same as the first soldier, the eyes are unseen. This second charater has larger forearm armour and is relatively thinner. He is not carrying a weapon.

To the first soldier's left is a third character. Much like the first soldier in appearance but there is something about this third soldier that looks feminine. The walk or the figure makes this last character have a female touch. This character is carrying a keyblade as well.


The characters moves towards the keyblades as the structure behind turns to dust.
As the three are close together, the first soldier moves towards three keyblades sticking out of the sand. The first keyblade in the line is Mickey's Keyblade, then there is The Kingdom Key, followed by Riku's Road To Dawn Keyblade. When the soldier moves closer to them, the ruin he was standing on vanishes into dust. The soldiers pick up the keyblades, the two with the pointed "ears" weild two blades each, the one with "ears" pointing back picks up the Kingdom Key and is holding another Keyblade.

There is a quick pan outwards and it is revealed that there are hundreds upon hundreds of keyblades sticking out of the ground. There are four pathes carved out, resembling a perpendicular crossroads of sorts.

Suddenly, there is a distant rumble, almost like an explosion. The three look into the distance and through the haze of the heat, an outline can be seen of a figure. Then the following captions show up on screen:


"It all begins with birth by sleep."
"Master of Keyblade"
"The Lost Two"
"Memory of Xehanort"
"Chasers"
"Keyblade War"
"It all began with... birth by sleep."

The first is that these new characters are in fact human and not a new breed of heartless.




, Tetsuya Namura (the producer & creator of KH) has confirmed a few things for us thus far... names for our chasers.

BLUE HAIRED GIRL - AQUA
ROXAS LOOKALIKE - VEN
ENIGMATIC SOLDIER - TERRA

Interviewer: "Who are the 3 armoured people?"
Nomura: "Those 3 are completely new people who haven't shown up at all. In fact, I've already thought of their names. Back when I was making that movie, I only had their settings but now I've even drawn their faces to give myself a clearer image of them

The Princesses of Heart

The 7 Princesses of Heart are the only 7 hearts in existance with absolutely no darkness in them. If they are gathered together, they open a path to the Door to Darkness. This was Maleficent's plan in the first Kingdom Hearts, and Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless) took advantage of her plan and went through once the 7 had been gathered. They have a fair amount of power, though. When the Keyhole leading to the Door to Darkness was opened, and darkness threatened to swallow Hollow Bastion, they held back the darkness all by themselves until Sora finally locked the keyhole. Also, it seems that the Princesses will play a pretty significant role in Birth by Sleep. The Princesses of Heart are:

Snow White: Snow White was in the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where she had a whole other set of problems. You never get to visit Snow White's world, as it has already been destroyed when Kingdom Hearts begins. If you beat Deep Jungle before Wonderland, you see Snow White being brought before Maleficent instead of Alice. Other than talking to her in Hollow Bastion once she is freed, she doesn't have that much of an impact on Sora.
Alice: From the movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice is the smallest and probably youngest of the Princesses of Heart. She is falsely accused of trying to steal the Queen of Hearts's heart in Wonderland, and her execution was stalled by Sora. Once he brought evidence before the Queen proving Alice's innocence, she became enraged because she was proven wrong. She hoisted Alice's cage high into the air and sicced her card soldiers on Sora. Once the battle was over, Alice was gone from her cage...if you beat Wonderland before Deep Jungle, you see Alice being brought before Maleficent instead of Snow White. Upon defeating the Trickmaster Heartless, the Chesire Cat tells Sora that Alice had been taken to another world...
Cinderella: The star of the movie Cinderella (big leap to make, I know), Cinderella's role is similar to that of Snow White; not very big. She is already in Maleficent's possession at the start of Kingdom Hearts, and her world has been destroyed. However, it is hinted by Nomura that we will be able to go to Cinderella's world in the new game Birth By Sleep...
Aurora: Aurora is the star in the movie Sleeping Beauty. In Kingdom Hearts, she is another Princess who does not have much of a role to play. One point of interest, however, is that Maleficent is originally from Aurora's world, which was destroyed. Aurora is already in Maleficent's possession when Kingdom Hearts begins. Once again, though, Nomura has hinted that we will be going to Aurora's homeworld in Birth By Sleep...
Jasmine: Jasmine comes from the movie Aladdin. She gets into some serious trouble in Kingdom Hearts, as she is relentlessly being hunted for by Jafar, who has overthrown her father and is working in tandem with Maleficent. Therefore, he knows all about her being a Princess of Heart, and has Heartless searching every nook and cranny of Agrabah for her. In the end, she got caught by Jafar, but Sora and the gang came after him and engaged him in combat. While they were throwing down, Jasmine was taken to Maleficent in Hollow Bastion by Riku. In Kingdom Hearts II, she plays a smaller role. She got captured by Jafar again for a minute or two, but that was about all that happened with her.
Belle: Belle is one of the stars from the movie Beauty and the Beast. In Kingdom Hearts, she is already held by Maleficent when you get to Hollow Bastion, but it must have been VERY recently because the Beast just showed up when you land, and he followed Belle after their world was destroyed by sheer force of will. After you free the Princesses, she can be found in Hollow Bastion's library trying to find a book on how to banish the darkness. She gives Sora the Divine Rose keychain, which is a very powerful version of the Keyblade. In KHII you get to go to the Beast's Castle, which is Belle's homeworld as well. She proves herself to be the most gutsy of the Disney Princesses of Heart by elbowing Xaldin in the gut when he holds her hostage, and running away with the Beast's rose (which was also stolen by Xaldin) and Xaldin's dignity. Grinning like mad, at that.
Kairi: Yup yup, Kairi is a Princess of Heart, and the pain in Maleficent's a**, because her heart had taken refuge in Sora's body, and Maleficent can't open the path to the Door to Darkness with just her lifeless shell. She is a native of Hollow Bastion, but she was cast off that world by Xehanort as a child and is now a resident of Destiny Islands. She is the apple of Sora's eye, and she feels the same for him. She is the only Princess of Heart with a Nobody, Namine. Also, she isn't exactly a typical princess either, as she gets to raise a little hell in KHII and hacks up a horde of Shadows along with Riku.

Kingdom Hearts

Ice Titan
Most likely raised by Hades before his defeat, and the much tougher cousin of the Rock Titan. This thing is the easiest of the 4 hidden bosses of KHI, but that doesn't mean you should take it lightly, as it is far more powerful than anything you have faced thus far. As this is the Gold Match in the Olympus Colliseum, it is a one on one fight.His only vulnerable point is his head, which is way, way beyond your reach. There are two options you have to hit his head. First, you could hit him with Thundaga. This, however, is a very, very bad idea, as you will run out of magic quickly and do very little damage for it, and then you'll be in trouble. The second way is to bounce the icicles he shoots at you back at him while locked onto his head. The icicles will smack him right in the head. He can fire icicles, breath ice, his very steps send out icy shockwaves, and he is capable of freezing extremely large portions of the arena in about 2 seconds. To keep you on your toes, he can also cause icicles to rise from the ground beneath you to impale you, and he can drop icy boulders from directly over Sora to crush you. Be careful...and for the love of God, don't cast Aeroga, or the icicles you have to bounce back will quintuple in size and you will be unable to reflect them.

Phantom
This Heartless has very few attacks; a claw swipe and a laser that homes in on Sora and absorbs his HP for a little bit upon contact before vanishing. However, the real trouble is the clock tower...the Phantom casts a spell on it so that the hands move at hyper speed, and every time the minute hand hits the 12, a party member of yours dies. Permanently. Not even an Elixer will get him back. And once the party members are out of the way...it's your turn. Cast Stop on the clock itself to freeze it for a time, but it won't stay that way forever. In addition, his heart that is its only weak point is only vunerable to certain attacks at certain times. When its heart is red, only Firaga works. When it's blue, only Blizzaga works. Yellow means start calling down the thunder. And when it's white, only physical attacks work. As a result, your magic gets drained very quickly. Have every MP recovery ability equipped, and have a horde of magic-restoring items in hand before engaging. If you don't like to use items during boss battles, it is possible to kill it without items, but you are in for one hell of a battle. Threat level extremely high.

Kurt Zisa
Kurt Zisa is a massive Heartless with a snake's head, six arms, and two monstrous swords. His only vunerable point is his head, and even then you must stun him to get the head to extend from the body to do damage. Kurt Zisa has two extremely annoying modes. In one, he seals your magic and attempts to slice you up with his swords. He holds 2 orbs in his lower hands, and you must attack and destroy these to break the seal on your magic, stun the boss, and make his weak point vulnerable. Careful, as he can fly through the air in a buzzsaw like manner with his body vertical or horizontal, and make several passes switching between the two positions. Jump over him when he's horizontal, and Dodge Roll when he's vertical. In his other attack mode, he erects a shield that can only be damaged with magic. Physical attacks don't do a lick of damage to it, but they do cause it to drop MP balls, so take a couple of swings at the shield if you are low on magic. Kurt Zisa attacks with energy balls and sand tornados in this mode, so have your Dodge Roll ready. When you destroy the shield, Kurt Zisa is stunned again and his vulnerable head extends from his body. Be careful when attacking the snake head, as it can still bite and snap at you to defend itself until the creatures main body revives. Threat level is extremely high, and you should go into this with a horde of Elixers and Megalixers. Summoning Tinkerbell also helps a lot, as she will stay to heal you even after your magic is sealed. You just can't summon her while your magic is sealed, so be extremely quick about it if you want her at the beginning of the fight.

Sephiroth
Any FFVII fans reading this are positively wetting themselves as they read this, probably. And I don't blame them. Sephiroth is undoubtedly the hardest of the 4 hidden bosses of KH to beat. He is the Platinum Match in the Olympus Colliseum, so this is a one on one match. With multiple slashing attacks, huge pillars of flame, and orbs of darkness, this guy is one tough customer. And those are just his normal attacks. He also knows an Omnislash like move, and can use a spell called Sin Heartless Angel. If the spell is not stopped by striking Sephiroth before he finishes casting it, it takes away all of your MP, and leaves you with just one HP. So, if he strikes you with this, the fight is as good as over. You have to hit him before he finishes casting it! Last but not least, he can call meteors to crash down on you, which he then proceeds to levitate and rotate with increasing speed, making it very difficult to weave in and out of the spinning meteors. For the end of the attack, he throws a small star at you. No, seriously. Don't even bother challenging this one if you don't have the patience to lose several times and keep on fighting.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Xemnas
That's right, you can fight Xemnas in the "first" KH. Back when KHFM came out, we didn't know anything about him and he had his hood up, so he was just called the Unknown, or the Enigmatic Man. Now that KHII is out, we know he is Xemnas because he fights with the same red lightsabers back then as he does now. Some people think this version of Xemnas is even harder than Sephiroth, but not all of them do. He attacks with lightsabers, lasers, bombs, and a lightning attack that seals Sora's menu. 3 of the bars say "shock," and one says "release." You cannot attack Xemnas until you hit release, and if you hit shock, a portion of your HP is blown off. To make matters worse, release and the shocks cycle positons randomly very fast, so you must have good timing to save yourself. You must do it quickly, too, as your HP is naturally drained even without pressing shock, and Xemnas isn't polite enough to let up on the offensive until you release yourself. He can also turn his body into a black and purple fog to travel around the large arena at high speeds. If he puts up a shield all around his body, (not just the spark wall shield) back off, because he is invincible and his shield is about to shoot off huge lasers. Getting through these lasers without getting hit requires some serious dodging skills, especially at close range. Never let your guard down in this fight, as that lightning menu seal will sometimes hit you at very, very inconveniant times.



Sephiroth
He's back...Sephiroth is back with his own little sideplot story with Cloud. He is the only hidden boss in KHII, but that's probably because he slaughtered all the other candidates. Sephiroth fights much more fiercely than in KH, but because of Sora's horde of new abilities, he's actually a little easier, despite his increased power. However, if you don't have at least High Jump Lv. 1 and Aerial Dodge Lv. 1, don't even bother challenging him, as it is impossible for you to win. When he uses Sin Heartless Angel this time, he levitates into the air, way too high for a normal jump to reach. He fights in combos, uses homing orbs of darkness, and hundreds of meteors to fight. His three pillars of flame from KH have been upgraded to fifteen pillars of flame that suck you in. Run in the opposite direction and don't let up for a second, and you should be safe. Also, stay on the ground as much as possible so you can use the Block Reaction command when the screen goes dark and Sephiroth performs a lunging slash. All growth abilites are very beneficial in this fight.

Absent Silhouettes

Zexion
Zexion isn't particularly dangerous, but he is extremely annoying to make up for it. Many players lose patience with this twit and die because of it. To begin with, Zexion poses almost no threat. All he does is zip harmlessly around the stage and zap your allies to trap them into books. Either slice up the books and free your allies, or go straight for Zexion and pummel him. The second option is preferable, because even if you do free your allies, they won't stay free for long. Once you damage Zexion enough, he'll zap you in a book and trap you in an alternate dimension. That's when all hell breaks loose. Zexion is hiding in one of the many, many books swirling around this dimension. You must find and drain the book of all health, hit it with a finisher, and then use a Reaction Command to exorcise Zexion out of the book and yourself out of the dimension. You are now free to damage Zexion again. Within the dimension, the books will ram you, explosions will erupt at your feet with just a flash of light to warn you, and Zexion is capable of turning your menu into a book so that you have to turn pages with Triangle until you find the Free option and turn your menu back to normal. He can also seal you into another book, which you must rip out of with Triangle to survive. Finally, Zexion can warp you to an area of all black, save for 3 spotlights. 2 are red, 1 is blue, and the blue one switches with the other ones. It starts out fast, then it slows down, then the blue light stops cycling and locks in with a white ring that flashes around the perimeter. Once the blue light stops, Quick Run into it, or you'll be pounded with a barrage of missles. If you can get in the light in time, you'll get a free shot at Zexion. Be very patient, and you should be victorious. Compared to the other Silhouettes, his threat level isn't terribly high.

Larxene
Larxene is probably the toughest of the Silhouettes. The girl of lightning is capable of making copies of herself to cover more ground. Fortunately, all share the same health, and attacking the duplicate still damages Larxene. If you can somehow catch the Larxenes in the same combo, you can cause some major damage. If you select and perform a full combo on the "real" Larxene, you will get a chance to fuse the copy back into the original with a Reaction Command.Larxene can slice you up with her kunai, or hit you from anywhere with lightning strikes and even small lightning storms. Her ultimate move resembles Hades' ultimate move in Kingdom Hearts. She puts up two walls of electricity and rotates them. However, this is accompanied by random lightning strikes to complicate the situation, and is much more powerful than anything Hades could summon up. Blazingly fast and strong to boot, Larxene's threat level is through the roof. You'll want to power up A LOT before engaging this one. She has too many attack formations to outline here, so unless you PM me for a complete strategy, be prepared for almost anything.

Lexaeus
Lexaeus actually has the smallest threat level of the five Silhouettes. He starts out weak, but the longer the battle takes, the more his power reading in the top right corner will go up, and the stronger his attacks will be. However, no matter how strong he is, Lexaeus is just too slow to put up much of a fight. As long as are good at dodging and have a lot of magic to fuel Reflega, you'll crush him. Also, if you parry a certain strike, you can open up a Reaction command that allows you to add Lexaeus's current power to your own and strike him with a particularly savage blow to stun him. When he makes a huge canyon wall appear at the last part of his ultimate attack, dodge roll it or reflect it to survive. It is undodgeable otherwise. If you panic, it's over, though, keep a level head. Oh, one more thing: watch out for those nasty throwing attacks of his...

Marluxia
Marluxia is a rather unique battle. Only two of his attacks actually cause damage: the pools of miasma he creates on the ground, and the thorn bombs he occasionally summons around Sora and friends. Other than very small miasmas that crop up during his ultimate attack and what is listed above, Marluxia cannot damage you. However, this comes at a price. A number that corresponds to your level appears above your head at the beginning of the battle. Each time Marluxia hits you with a non-damaging attack, that number goes down. Once the number hits zero, you die. Regardless of HP. There are two Reaction Commands in this fight. When Marluxia creates a whirlwind, then attacks with his scythe, if you block or dodge it you have a chance to activate one. If you are closer to Marluxia, you will perform a combo with your Keyblade that severly damages him. If you are closer to the tip of Marluxia's scythe, you will perform a non damaging Reaction Command, stealing Marluxia's scythe and slicing it up with him. It may not do damage, but if you use this command, you will regain some of your lost hits, making this move essential for survival, especially at lower levels. All you Lv. 1 Critical players beware...one hit is all it will take to drop you.

Vexen
By himself, Vexen is the easiest Silhouette to put down...but the problem is Vexen is not often by himself. A small portal chases Sora down during this battle, and the more you stand in it the more data Vexen obtains on you. Once one of his meters is filled up, Vexen summons your own Antiform to destroy you. This is extremely dangerous, as Antiform is fast, powerful, and it's combos are incredibly long. Without Once More, first time players don't stand a chance. Vexen seems to draw power from your data too, and will unlock more of his attacks as the data he gets on you increases. For each bar of data he aquires, Antiform also gets more HP and is able to use its latent attacks as well, including a very damaging version of Antiglide that not even Sora himself can do in Antiform! Once Vexen fills up all five bars of data...you will be in for a very rough fight.

The Digital Organization

At the very end of the Cavern of Remembrance, in a room called the Garden of Assemblage, a room full of data copies of each Organization member exists. You must beat the game to unlock all the data copies. There is one copy for each member, and they all have the same attacks as their real selves. (The data copies for Zexion, Larxene, Lexaeus, Marluxia, and Vexen are all based on their Silhouettes, however, and not their original selves in Re:com.) The difference, however, is that they are stronger, they have more defense and HP, the phases of the battle are often out of whack, and they can often string their old attacks together in new ways to make them very unpredictable, even though not a single new attack has been added to them. Some of them are very, very difficult to defeat, such as Digi Axel. The floor sucks your HP out at an incredibly fast rate this time as long as the floor is ignited. If you defeat all 13 Digital Organization members, you will earn the Proof of Non-Existence, the second of three orbs that proves your complete mastery of the game. Good luck, because some of them are fairly easy...and some of them...aren't.

TERRA

The Lingering Spirit, the Enigmatic Soldier, the Armored Unknown...Terra is the roughest, toughest opponent I have ever fought in 15 years of playing video games. With incredibly high HP, defense that until you attack him repeatedly and swiftly nearly negates your attacks, and a shape-shifting Keyblade, fighting Terra is a truly traumatizing experience. I've seen him outrun one of my friends using Final Form's Glide Max ON FOOT. Not only that, but he can leap huge distances in the blink of an eye, and sports a gliding ability that makes Glide Max look like you're moving in slow motion. As if he isn't fast enough already, he can also teleport. His Keyblade can shape-shift into a boxing glove, a gigantic whip, a crossbow, a bazooka, and even a flying motorcycle complete with cannons that will fire ice crystals at you if you prove to be too hard to hit with just his bike.. If you are somehow managing to avoid his motorcycle attacks or dodging his various blasts of energy, he can cast Magnega to hold you still. He can also create drone cannons that follow you around until you destroy them or he tells them to self destruct for some reason. If you manage to bounce back his bazooka blast, if it fails to hit him it will come back after you no matter how many times you bounce it back with Guard or Reflega.
Not hard enough, you say? Terra is capable of sealing your menu exactly like Xemnas did in KHFM with his crossbow blasts. To make matters worse, Terra is capable of sealing your magic like Kurt Zisa, only the same seal prevents you from using your items as well, something not even Zisa could accomplish. As if that weren't enough, Terra can seal your physical attacks as well. He can's seal your physical attacks and magic at the same time (you'd be defensless) but this is the only positive part. The only physical attack you can still trigger is Retaliation Slash, and since you'd have to get hit to even make this move an option, I think you can tell that you're far better off using magic. You'll die for sure if you try to just use Retaliation Slash. If you aren't proficient with every method of attack possible, prepare to die a horrible, violent death. Go into this fight at max level with the most powerful weapons, armor, and accessories you have. If you don't have Ultima Weapon, get it. If you fight Terra at Lv. 1...God help you. If anyone needs help, I have pre-typed strategies ready and waiting for both normal and Lv. 1 players.
For beating Terra, you get a synthesis item and more importantly, the Proof of Connection, the third of the three orbs that proves your complete mastery of KHIIFM+. Save this one for last: getting the other two orbs will be good training for fighting Terra.
